Dell IA Boots into HTTPS Boot

Using Dell IA - after capturing the image and using the same software to format my USB stick - whenever i finish restoring an image on the target PC the computer always seems to boot with some sort of HTTPS boot screen. This didn't happen in the past so I'm not sure why its happening now -unsure if this is a specific BIOS setting or something to do with the imaging process.

I use Hyper-V to prepare my image and deployed to a standard Dell Latitude laptop via formatted USB stick.

UPDATE June 12th 2025: This was resolved in the latest release of DIA 11.2.0.12. The below mentioned workaround below is not needed if your USB key is updated to that version.

With the latest builds of Windows (beginning in February 2025) there are issues booting after imaging with the DIA USB drive. This issue is not present from the factory.

USB workaround:

 

1- Create a file named “after_restore.cmd” with the following command in it. 

"bcdboot O:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI"

(no quotes & 1 line)

2- Place it in the Dell_Tools folder on the first partition of the DIA USB (FAT32) and then image.

Thanks,

Tyler

Issue was with the image itself - after creating a fresh hyperv VM with a new image (no checkpoints) it seemed to work fine. had to disable bit locker C: drive encryption / de-crypt it via CMD for IA to finalize the image.

I was experiencing the same problem. After restoring the 24H2 image with DIA, it would not boot.

Tyler M's suggestion resolved the problem for me.

For anyone who is interested, these are the issues I came across imaging 24H2.

- The 'no boot' issue described here. (Solved with suggested solution)

- Left over AppX error (Solved by allowing DIA to de-install some)

- System drive being encrypted (use command: manage-bde -off C: before imaging)

- left folders C:\InetPub and C:\Windows.old (Removed manually before imaging)
